Arlington Municipal Airport Newsletter Issue 9– March 2017 Airport Maintenance Building and Public Restroom to be Constructed The Airport will begin construction of a new equipment storage facility, just north of the fuel farm. A public re- stroom is included in the design of the building. The pro- ject was included in the City’s Capital Improvement Pro- gram for 2017-2018, which was passed by the City Council last week. A Request for design-build services was released last year, and the contractor has been selected. Construc- tion could begin in early summer.

Library’s “Scribblers” Visit the Airport The Arlington Public Library held their “Scribblers” program at the Airport last week. Children ages 8-12 participate in a creative writing project. They visit land- marks in Arlington, and after a short program, Scribblers members will be chal- lenged and inspired to write on a related theme.
